Yesenia S - Flower


I took this picture one day visiting my friend in Atlanta. This picture was taken with my camera in the friend's backyard. This is a picture of a flower and I took this photo with my camera because I really loved the pinkish color it had.

Laura T- Cornicopia


This is a picture of the contents of a fall vase my mom puts together every year. In it was a cornucopia, pinecone, and various types of fall nature items. This picture was taken for the color project. To edit this photo I increased the definition slightly as well as the highlights. I also cropped out some of the glass that was showing so it would not take away from the colors of the photo. 

Kyle B-Allyway


i took this picture downtown with my friend Cade as it was getting dark i really like the lighting in this picture. to edit this photo i brought the brightness down. although i don't like how the lights look uneven 

Kayla B- Mirrored Ring


I named this picture "mirrored ring". I put a ring on a mirror and then took the picture. To edit this picture I changed the exposure and saturated it. I like this picture because I like how the center of the ring is so detailed and I like the different pinks in the center of the ring. If i could make this picture better I would have made the band of the ring more visible.

Gavin M- OFF ROAD EXCURSION


This is a photo of my offloading in my nissan xterra right after i bought some new tires.  I like the photo because of the angle i took it at.  The photo was darkened to better show the tread of the tire.

Katelyn H- Believe


I took this picture of on of our christmas decorations in my dining room. I brightened it a bit and added a bit saturating to add more color to the decoration. 

Rayna B- Wonder


I chose this picture because I love nature. I took It on a road down the street from my lake house. I also chose this picture because it kind of makes you wonder what kind of people used to live in that house and what the story is behind the house. To edit it I just boosted the colors and sharpened it. 

Joerdan K- Jaden's Eyes


I took this picture of my little brother's eyes one day when we were waiting for my mom to get out of a meeting. The gleam in his eye is from the flash which i enhanced with the saturation. I adjusted the levels and curves and contrast then made it black and white. But i wanted the eyes in color because i thought it looked pretty cool. I'm overall happy with how this picture turned out.

Alexis M- Holister


This is a bottle of Holister body spray. I increased the exposure and the contrast. I also cropped the unnecessary space around it.

Dkota W- Red Leaves


 For this Photo Blog picture i chose a picture from the Color assignment. When I edited this picture i blurred the bottom leaves and made one of the leaves stand out from the rest. I simply named this picture "Red leaves" because its just a simple picture. I took this picture on my digital camera.

Abhay T- Environmental of Mr. Kustos


This photo is of my math teacher, Mr. Kustos, that I took during class one morning for the Portrait assignment earlier this year. This is an environmental portrait, because of the board and math symbols on it. I chose this candid shot over the other formal shots, because in my opinion it seems more natural and suitable for an environmental portrait. I saturated the photograph, and also changed the color balance to make the photo a little bit cooler. Overall, I am pleased with the outcome of this photo, but the right hand holding the marker is a little blurry and could be better.

Cole G- After a Rainstorm


This is a picture of a plant I took right outside of my house one night after a rainstorm. I like the outcome because of the depth of field and selective composition.

Zach C- Lamp at Night


This is a picture I took for the night & day assignment I edited it by restoring the the color of the light.

Victoria D- Down at Gulf Shores


I took this picture down at gulf shores when my family was trying to find a restaraunt to eat at and we ran into an old fish market and that is where i took this picture. I really like this photo because of the colors and setting of where it is. It really captures who i am as a photgrapher.  I edited it by enhancing the image and boosting the color to be more calming. I hope you like it as much as i do!
  

Lakeshia B - Shannon


 I took this picture outside in the courtyard for the portrait assignment ,out next a light post.I was really happy this picture and i changed  the editing that i turned in for the assignment.  I edited by cropping so she would be the main focus. I lighten it up and dracaena some parts. I took some of her hair out her faces and made it black and white.

Hemin N.- Red Coke


My favorite image is called Red Coke. This is my favorite image because it emphasizes the color red best. I feel that this image does a very good job of contrasting the color red from the background. I also think that the picture does a good job of showing my personality and view. I like a very green/forest type background because I feel very peaceful when I am in nature. Also, the image shows that I am a big fan of coca-cola and coke products(who isn't). I think that the lighting from the chandelier helped the picture a lot. The light shown right onto the object which allowed for the color to really stand out. I also think that the white flower and dark background really helped emphasize the color/object. 

Sarah P- Three Windows


I took this photo at a restaurant that is close to my lake house. My family went out to lunch for my cousin's birthday one Sunday we were all down there. The restaurant was a very neat place. I really loved the wood panels that the building was made out of. It was very rustic inside and out. I thought the three windows looked really cool, so I snapped a picture. I just adjusted the levels and cropped a little, then made it black and white. 

Landry T-Tres Smiles


This is my picture of my friend Mariah sitting on a bench in the courtyard one day during school. I took three separate pictures of her sitting on the bench and put them together as one.

Justin H-The Path


This picture was taken at Moss Rock Park, on one of the trails. I really love the lighting in the picture and how beautiful it looks. I edited it in photoshop by brightening all of the colors individually and editing the lighting a bit. I mainly wanted to focus on the trail.

Samantha D-In the River


I took this picture when i went with the environmental class on their canoe trip to get pictures for the yearbook. Everyone was looking for different types of bugs in the river and the tour guide found this one. I enhanced the contrast, exposure, and the saturation 

Vanessa A- Bridge at the Beach


i choose this picture because i love bridges especially if its on the beach.
i used photoshop to edit this picture, i made the sky look more blue and erase some parts of the bridge. at the end you can see that people are fishing which,i like this view.

Katie W- Ray Bans


I took this picture for the Pick a Color assignment, and I ended up liking it a lot. I took this picture in my car before school one day. I think this would have been better if the sunglasses were more in focus.

Madison P-Illuminations


I took this picture while we were in Disney World over Thanksgiving break. We were watching a firework show called Illuminations that night. I chose this picture because I really like how the fireworks reflect on the water. Instead of getting a clear reflection, it appears more distorted and you can't really tell that it's fireworks reflecting in the water. To edit the picture I adjusted the color balance a little to take out some of the yellows and increased the saturation. I took this picture with my iPhone so it could have been better if I had used my camera so that the picture could be little less blurry and everything would have been focused better.

Shelby C.-The Last Spring Flower


I took this picture at my grandmothers house a few weeks ago at the end of October.It was just a flower that my grandmother had outside on her porch.I edited his by cropping it, and changing the curvature of the picture.

Tripp W-Leaf


I took this picture on the sidewalk in front of my house. It was a little overcast, so there are not as many details as i would like to haven the concrete, but i enhanced the contrast to bring out the texture as much as i could. I then increased the saturation of the hue of the leaf to make it stand out.

Will C-shining light copy


The name of this picture is "shining light." This is my favorite picture I have ever taken. I took it downtown at an old mill and the whole place is rusted away and being taken over by the earth. I like the clarity of this picture and how the light from the broken windows bring so much attention to the metal bin.

Meagan P- Mistletoe Candle


I took this for the Reflection project and I really like it. I love how the flame reflects off of the wax and I think its different. I did crop it so the whole candle isn't in the shot and it looks really warm! (:

Darien B- Car Ride


this picture was taken on the way home from Tuscaloosa. it is the side mirror of my moms car. i made it black and white then brought the color back to everything but whats in the mirror. i did this to make it look like the past is dark.

Josh V- Equipment


This is an image of all my baseball equipment. I took this while doing the "About Me" assignment. To take the picture I went to my backyard laid all the equipment on the grass and kneeled down to get a better angle. I edited the image by giving it sepia and blurring the edges a little. I also gave the image definition and sharpness.

Stephanie P- London


I took this picture from the London Eye on my trip to London at the beginning of the year. I enhanced the color, because it was a cloudy day so the picture was kind of foggy. Enhancing the color made that go away. I also enhanced the red to make the buses stand out a little more.

Jay J- American Flag


This picture is of the American flag. I took it in my math class. This picture was for the color assignment. I enhanced the picture and used auto contrast. Also I used a filter from the artistic section which was dry brush.

Ryan T- Apple


I took this picture while eating lunch.  This has to be the best picture I ever shot; and edited for my color red project.  I desaturate the picture to make the only red apple stand alone in this picture.  When I showed this picture to my friends; the first thing that comes to their mind is the book "Twilight".  But that's not what comes to my mind about this picture.  Just a very cool red apple in the stand alone art picture.  

Madhukar M - Formal Portrait


I took this picture as part of the portrait assignment, as a formal picture. I took it in the courtyard at our school early in the morning. There was plenty of sunlight, allowing a really nice background. I like the shadows and feel that they complement my subject well. However, I feel that parts of the picture were too dark, while others were too light. I may go back and take out some of the modifications I made.

Robert C- Matroshka


This is a picture of a Matroshka i took this in my back yard on some construction material. I took this picture for my about me assignment I really like how this picture turned out. I think it could have been better if I had less glare on the Mmatroshka This represents me because I lived in Russia for the past 10 years.

Arisha l-Blue Tree


This picture is called "Blue Tree' because it was taken for my color project. This tree was outside in the back of school. I really liked how it was colored because it was next to the art hall. I made the background black and white because I wanted the tree to stand out. This picture really inspires me.
